18 holes are just part of the total golf experience. For some golf courses, the most memorable part of the day is the clubhouse or the practice grounds. We analyzed your reviews over the course of 2016 to find which facilities impressed the most with their off-course amenities. This can mean anything from an excellent clubhouse restaurant to tour-quality locker rooms or driving range.

Many of the facilities that qualified for this list are high-end resort courses in top golf destinations like Orlando or Phoenix-Scottsdale that are well known to golf travelers. But there are some exceptions. Some of these courses manage to provide value by delivering well-appointed amenities that are much better than expected for the green fee.
